New inspiration, old-style serviceAs I write we’re merely days away from The Photography Show and we can’t wait to make the trip up to the NEC in Birmingham to see what the world of photography has in store for us in 2015. With Canon’s latest campaign carrying the slogan ‘Come and see’, it really does emphasise that there’s nothing quite like getting hands-on with product. Clearly we could be talking ourselves out of business here, but as we’ve been selling accessories via mail order since BWWW (before world wide web) we like to think we’ve got it covered. As the heading on the right says, we offer no-fuss returns and the EOS ladies are always happy to chat over the phone if you have a query. As we search for new products for each issue of the catalogue, it’s interesting to reflect that what was once only achievable via an accessory is more and more frequently incorporated into the latest EOS cameras. Take the interval timer, for example – this made its first appearance on the EOS 7D Mark II last autumn. Or integrated sensor cleaning, introduced with the EOS 400D. Even creative filters (seven on the new 760D, for example), though there’s nothing yet in-camera that can replicate the new twilight filter (page 3) or starburst filter (page 11). There’s still plenty of scope for new and interesting accessories. Take the new WaterWeight on page 28 – clever stuff from a new UK-based company called Inspired PhotoGear. We also really like the Light Blaster (page 3) and will be rummaging amongst our slides to see just how creative we can get with this new light modifier. So whatever catches your eye and inspires you this issue, rest assured that your order will be backed up by our old-school style customer service.

Happy shooting from the EOS magazine shop team

Twilight graduated filterFOR BEAUTIFUL DUSK SKIES

This filter can be used to create a late afternoon/early evening twilight effect, ideal for situations where you don't have as much control over the light as you would like. The filter graduates softly from a darkish purple-blue at the top of the filter through a pink horizon in the centre into a clear bottom section. An essential piece of kit for any keen landscape photographer's bag.

ProdiskCOMPACT COLOUR CONTROL

This handy, all-in-one accessory gives you control over white balance and colour management in your images, speeding up and simplifying any later editing you might do. It combines a colour reference, grey card and a translucent white balance filter. All attached together in a slim plastic cover, you can flip to any section of the ProDisk as you need it and stand it upright when shooting. Comes with a neckstrap to ensure it’s always close to hand when you need it to achieve that perfect shot.

Light BlasterPROjECT, MODIFY AND CREATE

The Light Blaster is a new kind of light modifier. Rather than simply shaping one coloured light source, it enables you to project an image onto a subject or a background. This offers ultimate creative freedom, all by adding your Speedlite, Canon lens and a 35mm slide of your choosing. By using an ordinary lens you can focus the light from your Speedlite and control the size of your projection – 35mm to blast an entire wall; 200mm to paint a heart on a chest. The concept is simple, the creative possibilities endless. You can project messages behind your subject and create patterns and realistic backgrounds only achievable beforehand with heavy and expensive backdrops. If you don’t own any suitable slides, you can make your own from digital images using templates for Photoshop, Illustrator and more on a slide-compatible printer or company offering digital-to-slide conversion. Fits all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and Speedlites.

The Canon LP-E6N battery, introduced with the EOS 7D Mark II, is a replacement for the Canon LP-E6 battery. It’s also backward compatible with all EOS models which take the LP-E6 battery pack, but with the ‘N’ version having an additional 65 mAh of storage capacity (1865 mAh vs. 1800 mAh) to its advantage, meaning it will last longer.

Compatible with EOS 7D Mark II, 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, 6D, 7D, 60D, 70D

We also stock most other Canon original batteries, in addition to the excellent Hähnel batteries on page 20.


BooksWe may love our tech but for us nothing replaces the pleasure and experience of reading a book. The Expanded Guide series remains our firm favourite. For a pocketable quick reference guide the InBrief cards are excellent. Both fit in your camera bag.

inBrief guidesPOCKET-SIzED LAMINATED CARDS

When you are in the field, you need quick and accurate answers, yet your camera manual is over 200 pages long. As a solution Blue Crane, makers of the popular series of EOS training DVDs (page 8), has come up with the inBrief series of camera guides so you can quickly get the answers you want when you need them most. Each card is divided into colour-coded panels. If you have a question about metering or bracketing, simply look at the yellow panel. The layout and description for the control panel and viewfinder can be found on the blue panel. And a colour-coded index on the front page (below) immediately points you towards the answer you need. It also has a panel that shows you the camera functions available for each mode dial setting. The inBrief guide is laminated for durability and protection and is designed to be folded and stored in your camera bag. Your inBrief guide is not a replacement for your manual, but it will serve as a ready reminder of what functions are available and how to use them.

dri+CapPROTECT YOUR LENS FROM hUMIDITY

Excess humidity can be destructive to equipment. Fungus that forms between lens elements and on glass surfaces in humid dark environments is either difficult or expensive to remove. The dri+Cap system helps to maintain equipment at the proper RH (relative humidity) levels – ideally between 35% and 45%. The dri+Cap absorbs moisture that can otherwise turn into mould, particularly relevant when travelling in climates with significant temperature changes. Each dri+Cap has a compartment which holds a sachet of dessicant. Four sachets are provided in the kit. Simply insert a fresh sachet into the cap compartment. Screw the compartment lid on to seal the

cap. Now install the cap and the rubber ‘O’ ring ensures an air-tight seal against the mount flange on either the lens or camera body. Fits all EOS cameras and EF/EF-S lenses.

CapsLenses are delicate items and need looking after. Dirt, grime and moisture all impair the performance of your lens. In addition lens flare can cause problems for your images. If your lens didn’t come with a hood, we have the full range of hoods online and can advise you if you’re not sure which one you need.

White lens hoodsgET ThE L-SERIES LOOK

Canon chooses to make its large telephoto lenses with white barrels in order to help keep the lens barrel cool. The glass elements used in lenses expand with heat and the expansion of larger glass elements could affect the outer housing or even the performance of the lens. A white surface reflects sunlight, thereby keeping the lens cooler and within its design tolerances. However Canon only supplies the lens hoods in black for its L-series telephoto zooms. That’s why we’ve chosen these white lens hoods, to complement the finish on the lens itself whilst still performing the essential function of any lens hood, eliminating lens flare. The interior surface is matt black so that the lens hood still performs as it should – preventing lens flare and absorbing stray light. The lens hood screws securely onto the filter mount on the outside rim of the lens and can be attached in reverse for storage.

Canon lens hoodshELP PREvENT LENS FLARE

Lens flare spoils many pictures. Even when it does not show as a streak across the image, it can cause overall loss of contrast. Lens hoods protect the front of the lens from side lighting from bright sources, such as the sun.

All-in-one sensor cleaning kitFOR ALL ThREE STAgES – BLOW, BRUSh, SWAB

You never know how stubborn that bit of dust is going to be. Rather than trying to predict which cleaning method will shift it, make sure you have the only kit you need to cover all scenarios. It includes tools for all three steps in the cleaning process – blow, brush, swab – all in one compact travel pouch.

Start with the silicone blower, move onto the DSLR statically-charged brush and then blitz the dust with the wet swab solution. There are full instructions packed in the pouch.

Contents include:• One 59ml bottle of cleaning fluid• Three camera chamber swabs• Ten micro-fibre sensor swabs• DSLR sensor brush• Silicone jumbo blower• Pack of 25 PEC Pads (for lens cleaning)• Large microfibre cleaning cloth• Comprehensive cleaning instructions

Available in three sensor sizes REF: R012 All kits £78.95

ECLIPSE fluidECLIPSE sensor cleaner dries as quickly as it can be applied leaving no residue, making it safe for use on all sensor types, lenses and filters. Bottle contains approx. 59ml fluid and comes with a dropper tool to dispense as needed.

REF: R813 £12.95

Micro-fibre swabsIncluded as standard in our sensor cleaning kits these DSLR swabs are manufactured using extremely soft and highly absorbent lint-free micro-fibre cloth to produce a superior cleaning action. The design incorporates a stiff handle with a flexible blade tip which makes it easy to apply the correct pressure when cleaning. Use with Eclipse fluid for best results. Each swab is individually sealed in a foil packet for single use. Supplied in packs of 10.

Blower bulbBLAST OFF!

This powerful silicone blower is odourless and provides a good blast of air to shift specks of dust from your sensor and camera body. Being made of silicone means it is far less likely to degrade than rubber so you don’t risk contaminating your sensor further with debris. The blower has a soft silicone tip making it safe to use inside your camera. It can stand upright on its flat base to keep the nozzle from making contact with dirt.

REF: R163 £5.85

CleanWhilst dust on the sensor can cause problems with your images, it shouldn’t be the only part of your kit to keep clean. A clean camera helps keep the sensor free from dust.

Insights to Travel PhotographyAn important way to learn about photography is to understand the thought process, motivation and settings that were involved in the creation of an image. The how, why and when the image was shot are all critical elements in a successful image. How often though can you have the photographer there to explain it to you? Nina Bailey’s new Insight series of photography eBooks will do just that. In each of these two eBooks dedicated to travel photography, Nina picks one hundred of her favourite travel images and explains what went into creating them. Each image is explored in detail, giving background information, the settings used on her equipment, the creative vision and thought process before taking the shot.

LightCraft ND fader mk II

This high quality ND fader from Light Craft Workshop is invaluable for shooting bright sunny days when long exposures would result in blown-out skies. This ND filter allows you to adjust the range from ND4 (2 stops) to ND400 (9 stops), though the range will be less with wide-angle lenses. This is explained in the information on our website or on the leaflet supplied with the filter. Adjusting the density of the filter is simple – just twist the outer ring and you will see the density increase or decrease as you turn it, allowing you full control. The frame on the LightCraft ND filters is incredibly thin so vignetting is not an issue.

UV protectionPROTECT AND ENhANCE

Primarily designed to provide protection from rain and grime, a UV filter will also give you sharper, clearer images. UV rays often make photos appear pale and grey. You will see better colour contrast by filtering UV rays and associated grey haze. It is effective for colour images as well as black-and-white. This UV filter from Hama is multi-coated with four layers of coating and

this helps minimise flare when the lens is pointed towards a bright light source.

FiltersUse lens filters for various improvements in your images. A UV filter offers better clarity; a polariser will elimate reflections and enhance contrast; an ND filter allows you to extend exposure time. We have even more filters online including our creative range – ideal if you prefer to create your effects in-camera.

Neutral densityYou can shoot images like this dreamy seascape simply by adding a neutral density filter to the front of your lens. Whether you want to slow water movement, blur the background for macro shots or simply avoid overexposure, this small lightweight accessory will provide

you with the ideal creative tool. It’s also invaluable when shooting

movies on your EOS camera in order to

control exposure and give smoother

transitions between different light levels.

If you have been mesmerised by the ghostly images possible with an infrared filter or camera, then this is an affordable way for you to start experimenting with infrared photography. This R70 circular infrared filter from UK-based SRB-Griturn only allows infrared rays above 720nm to pass through, offering a unique perspective on the world.

You can check that your camera is infrared-sensitive by holding down a button on your TV remote and taking a photo of the end with the bulb. If you can see the infrared signal lamp in the photo you have captured infrared radiation with your camera and you can start experimenting with this filter and infrared photography.

Have you ever wondered how some photographers manage to get such saturated colours in their images? It’s down to the effective use of a polarising filter. This cuts through some of the reflected light to show you the true colours. A polariser is the one filter which will help every EOS user to improve and enhance their images. An invaluable filter for your kit bag, a circular polariser will help eliminate unwanted reflections on shiny surfaces such as glass and water and will increase colour saturation and contrast. Made by SRB-Griturn in the UK this affordable range of polarising filters are multi-coated and made from optical glass, thereby reducing lens flare.

LightThe right light is critical to a successful photo. Make your light work for you by diffusing, bouncing or even colouring your flash for dramatic effects. LED lights are also a great option as they provide continuous lighting for your subject.

Flat diffuserSOFTENS ILLUMINATION

This portable diffuser also softens the illumination from your camera’s built-in flash. This accessory uses an elasticated ring to grip the front of the lens. This can give a greater distance between the diffuser and the flash head, producing

more diffuse illumination. Can also provide diffusion for some Speedlites (depends on Speedlite, lens and camera combination). Folds into a small zipped pouch.

LCDThe LCD monitor on the back of your digital camera is vulnerable, particularly to scratches. A protective screen will help to keep it safe and is much cheaper to replace if any damage occurs.

Larmor protectorsSELF-ADhESIvE SCREEN PROTECTION

Larmor LCD protectors provide superior shock absorbency and scratch protection for your camera’s LCD. They adhere to the LCD via electrostatic adsorption. This method of fixing also means that you are not left with annoying bubbles under the surface or glue residue to clean when you finally remove the protector. These sturdy protectors are made from anti-explosion and anti-breakage film, layered with 0.5mm optical glass, which allows for 90% light transmission, making the protectors ultra clear and ultra thin. They are easy and quick to put on and are supplied with a super soft wet cleaning cloth. At EOS magazine we have fitted the Larmor protector on our EOS 650D and almost forgot it was on there. The vari-angle LCD screen still folds inwards and clicks into place without impediment. Touch screens also continue to work.

Hot shoe adapter

REMOTE CONTROL PLUg-AND-ShOOT

Many photographers use their flashguns with an RC remote release these days, but not all flashguns have a standard PC socket into which to plug the receiver cable. The Kaiser hot-shoe adapter will solve this problem: this adapter accepts the flash gun in the shoe and the 30cm cable with 3.5mm jack plug will connect to the receiver. The hot shoe adapter base has a 1/4 inch thread and can therefore be mounted with the flash on a tripod; alternatively it will slot into your camera’s hot shoe. Your flashgun will then be triggered when a signal is received from the transmitter. Simple, but so useful.

Inspired by John Humphrey’s pressed flowers in the ‘How was it shot?’ feature in the April-June 2015 issue? Some of those shots were created with the assistance of a small light box, showing the delicacy and detail of his translucent flowers. Light boxes have come a long way over the years, with reduction in size and improvement in light transmission, as shown by these two slim light boxes from Kaiser. The powerful LEDs in this compact, ultra-slim daylight light box will provide sufficient illumination for detailed photography, like pressed flowers, and also for viewing transparent originals. The special light conducting and reflecting technology allows the light to be uniformly distributed, even in the corners. It’s powered by batteries (not included) – 6 x AAA for the small slimlite and 6 x AA for the medium version. There is also a port for a 9V mains adapter plug (not included). A protective cover is included for safe storage and transportation. Colour temperature approximately 5000K. Approx. life of LEDs is 10,000 hours.

Extension tube setMAgNIFICATION WITh AUTOFOCUS

Get closer to your subject and achieve greater magnification whilst still retaining autofocus functionality with this set of Aputure extension tubes. They are designed with all the circuitry and mechanical coupling to maintain autofocus and TTL auto exposure. Extension tubes enable a lens to focus closer than its predetermined minimum focusing distance. Extension tubes have no optics – they are mounted between the camera body and lens to create more distance between the lens and film plane. By moving the lens further away from the film or sensor in the camera, the lens is forced to focus much closer than normal. The set contains three tubes of different lengths: 13mm, 21mm and 31mm. Each tube can be used individually or in any combination to obtain the desired magnification. The greater the length of the tube, the closer the lens can focus. We shot a series of images on an EOS 5D Mark II with EF 50mm lens attached using the various combinations of tubes (seven in total). The maximum magnification we achieved with all three tubes stacked together was ten times greater than with no extension tube, giving us true macro photography. Best used on EF and EF-S lenses with shorter focal lengths as these offer greater magnification.

Coupling ringsDOUBLE ThE LENS

Made from metal for a solid thread that won’t wear. For use with one lens at a time. A cost-effective way of experimenting with macro photography, and great fun! Autofocus is not possible with a reversing ring as there are no connections, so you’ll need to focus manually on your subject. For a reversing ring that retains autofocus, try the autofocus reversing rings on the opposite page. For more information on reversing rings (and coupling rings), take a look at the article ‘Reverse vision’ in July-September 2011 issue, pages 54-59.

MacroDelving into the world of close-up and macro photography needn’t mean a new specialist lens. Instead you can experiment with your existing lens using reversing rings, close-up lenses and extension tubes.

Close-up lensesMAgNIFYINg gLASS FOR YOUR LENS

Unlike extension tubes which have no glass, close-up lenses are essentially a sophisticated magnifying glass which you screw to the filter mount on the front of your lens to enlarge your subject. This set from SRB is made in the UK and includes four close-up lenses of different dioptres, offering varying magnification strengths. They can be used individually or stacked together to multiply the effect. These are particularly useful when using longer focal lengths because the magnification needed is less, so the image suffers less degradation at close distances.

This set includes +1, +2, +4 and +10 dioptres in a fold-up case. The lenses are single element. Choose the right set for your lens filter size. They can also be used with stepping rings (page 10) so buy for your largest filter mount and step down for lenses with smaller filter mount sizes.

Autofocus reversing ringsFLIP YOUR LENS AND RETAIN FULL CONTROL

This autofocus reverse lens adapter, designed specifically to fit Canon EOS cameras, allows a lens to be reverse-mounted onto your EOS camera body for macro photography while also transferring all of the control functions. Auto reversing rings maintain the electrical connection between the camera and lens so you can enjoy full and convenient control of your lens even though it’s mounted back-to-front. One ring attaches to the camera mount and the front of the lens is fixed to this using the filter mount. The second ring attaches to the lens mount. As the rings space the lens further from the camera than a normal reversing ring (page 14), you also gain some extra magnification. The adapter transmits all of the information and data from the lens to the camera body, including autofocus. The connecting ring in this kit is made of aluminium and the maximum cord length is 70cm. The coiled cord means that you don’t have excess cord hanging down in your way. (Please note that autofocus may not be available depending on the amount of light entering the camera at the time.) Kit includes: reverse lens adapter for EOS cameras plus four stepping rings in sizes 58mm, 67mm, 72mm and 77mm.

Halo macro LED ring flashPORTABLE LED LIghT FOR FLASh AND CONTINUOUS LIghT

This LED ring flash is the perfect pocketable lighting solution for your EOS camera. It is well-designed and easy-to-use, whether you attach it to the lens for classic ring flash effect, position it handheld off-camera, or even mount it to the hotshoe of your camera. This 60-bulb LED light can work in three flash modes, as a continuous light mode or, by half pressing the shutter, as an AF assist lamp. The angle of light from the LED bulbs is 60°, giving you a wide spread of even light. The brightness is adjustable up to three stops via a simple wheel. Colour temperature is 5500K ±300K. The power output is astonishing, given that the Halo runs on just four AA batteries. Battery life is extended immeasurably by the low power consumption of LED technology. The flash mode output is twice as powerful as continuous mode. In both flash and continuous mode the left and right sides can be fired independently for more dynamic lighting effects. The effective flash range is 5cms to 1.5 metres. Sync speed is 1/200 second. Small enough to carry in your coat pocket, yet sufficient for a variety of uses as your sole lighting solution. We particularly like the ease with which you can adjust the power levels and the fact that you can use this LED ring flash as a flash or continuous light. It also has integral mounts for use on your camera’s hotshoe as well as on a lens. Includes eight lens adapters to fit all EF and EF-S lenses from 52mm to 77mm filter mount.

MK200 microphoneSUPERIOR SOUND RECORDING

This second-generation microphone produces high fidelity sound of broadcast quality. It uses dual shockmounts to absorb any unwanted mechanical vibrations and handling noise. The peak signal indicator shows the user when the sound is too loud and is easily adjusted by selecting a lower dB level using the -10dB / 0 dB / +10dB switch. For outdoor sound recordings, simply slip the Deadcat windshield (included) over the microphone for better quality sound. For times when you want to position the microphone away from the camera there’s an external mic holder. Attach the microphone to the mic holder via the hot shoe and 3.5mm audio socket. You can then move the microphone up to 8 metres away. It has an adjustable swivel head and a 1/4 inch thread on the bottom so that you can attach it to a suitable support. REF: R471 £119.99

MoviesVideo on DSLRs is here to stay. When you’re ready to start experimenting with movie-making, here’s a few essential accessories to get you going. There are more on our website.

Professional loupePRO qUALITY FOR SHOOTING MOVIES

This loupe provides a clear one-to-one or magnified view of your LCD screen. In magnification mode, the loupe provides 3x enlargement of the LCD via a focusing lens and a rubber eyecup which can be rotated to suit left or right eye shooting. You can also flip the eyepiece up to see a shaded direct view of the screen without the magnification. The good-sized eyecup means that extraneous light is eliminated for maximum clarity. The viewfinder loupe attaches to the camera using the supplied screen protector. The protector has a self-adhesive edging which keeps it fixed to the camera. The loupe clips on to the protector and can be fitted and removed easily as required. If you use two cameras for movie work, buy a second screen protector and use the one loupe for both. Dimensions: outer (screen and border) 71 x 57mm; inner size (clear screen) 60 x 45.5mm.

Designed for 3” LCD screens with 4:3 ratio.Fits EOS 1D Mark IV, 7D, 5D Mk II, 60D, 100D, 500D, 550D, 600D, 650D, 700D

Focusing leversAN EASIER wAY TO FOCUS & zOOM

Wouldn’t it be great to recreate some of those beautiful smooth focus pulls seen on TV and in films? It’s difficult to achieve with your Canon lens; after all, it’s not what they were designed for. These focusing levers provide a simple but innovative solution. The easy-to-attach lever (supplied in two lengths) allows you to adjust the focus or zoom on your lens in a precise and controlled manner, allowing you to achieve smooth and gentle transitions. The F-Rings come in size bands and can be fitted to either the focus or zoom ring of your lens. The size refers to the lens diameter, not the filter size. The easiest way to measure the diameter of your lens is to use a vernier caliper. Otherwise, measure the circumference of your lens with a tape measure at the point at which you want to fit the F-Ring, then divide that measurement by Pi (3.14) to calculate the diameter of your lens.

To fit lens diameter: 50-53.5mm; 53-57mm; 56.5-60.5mm; 60-65mm

Deluxe video raincoverPLENTY OF ROOM TO MANOEUVRE

When shooting video in challenging conditions such as rain or snow your camera needs protection from the elements. This padded cover is water-resistant for wet conditions with clear panels at the rear and top for easy viewing of the LCD screen and controls. It is also well-insulated and features three internal pockets which can hold heat packs (not included) to keep the camera battery – not to mention your hands – warm in freezing weather. Elasticated cuffs on either side give you easy access to all of the controls. The camera can easily be inserted into the cover with lens attached, with zips at the base ensuring the cover stays closed securely around the camera. If required, the zips can be opened to allow the camera to be mounted on a tripod with the cover still in place. There is an adjustable (by drawstring) aperture at the front of the cover for a short lens. For longer lenses (up to 26cm long) a padded, water-resistant lens cover (included) can be attached to extend the cover, keeping your lens dry and protected too. The clear panel at the rear can be opened to allow an LCD viewing loupe to be fitted. A separate cover (included) can be attached at the rear to cover a viewfinder loupe. The loupe cover can also double up as a viewing hood in bright conditions. Dimensions: approximately 47cm wide x 30cm deep.

Reflecta scannerSPEEDY SLIDE AND FILM CONVERTER

Still got boxes of slides and negatives gathering dust in a cupboard? Why not digitise your collection using the Reflecta x9 film scanner? Battery or mains operated (battery included), it can be used anywhere and at less than two seconds per scan makes for a speedy and convenient way to convert your images, automatically changing negatives to positives. Conversion from film to digital is very simple. Just load your slides or negatives into the appropriate carrier and slide into the slot on the scanner. Two carriers are supplied – one will hold a strip of six negatives and the other will accommodate three mounted 35mm slides. No computer is needed, as the scanned images are saved to an SD/SDHC card (not included) which slots into the back. The film is illuminated by a built-in white LED light and images can be viewed immediately on the 2.4 inch LCD display screen on the scanner, or you can connect the scanner to your TV or computer for a larger view. Exposure and cropping is automatic, but compensation of up to +/- 2EV is available if needed. If the images need a bit of tweaking, you can then edit them on a computer using the image editing software supplied. A 35mm slide will produce an image size of 2592 x 1728 pixels. Although this is a lower resolution than would be obtained using a camera and slide copier or flatbed scanner, it is fast and inexpensive and the images produced are more than big enough to display on any computer screen, HDTV or output as a 10x8 inch print. Included with the scanner: USB and TV-out cables, holder for three mounted slides up to 3.2mm thickness, holder for film strips (up to six images), lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, cleaning brush, image editing software (compatible with Windows and Mac) plus full user instructions.

500mm mirror lensDOUGHNUTS wITHOUT THE ADDED POUNDS

If you have ever lusted after the Canon EF 500mm f4L IS II USM lens then chances are your eyes have also watered at the price of it – at around £9000 (RRP). Even the thought of carrying it at a weight of just over 3kg and length of 383mm is not for the faint-hearted. So we have an alternative for you – a mirror lens. Often dismissed as toys or playthings, we feel this mirror lens is worthy of our attention. The 500mm f6.3 mirror lens from Kaili offers advantages in size, weight and, most significantly, price. It contains a combination of lenses and mirrors to form the image. This design, also employed in the original Canon FD 500mm f8 Reflex lens, folds the light path between two mirrors which reduces the length of the lens assembly. The lens has a fixed aperture of f6.3 and focusing has to be done manually. Minimum focusing distance is two metres. Mirror lenses will certainly give you the reach of a super telephoto lens even if they cannot quite match the image quality and contrast, but if you are looking for an inexpensive way to extend your view, this might be a solution for you. Also if you’re prepared to spend a little bit of time post-processing, you can lift the contrast as needed. Mirror lenses are like Marmite – you’ll either love or hate the result they can create. They turn background specular reflections into ‘doughnut’ shapes. This is a characteristic of all mirror lenses, but only happens with bright background reflections. If you shoot against darker backgrounds the image appears normal, hence the image of the baby rhino is doughnut-free. For more information on mirror lenses read the article ‘Legacy lenses’ in the April-June 2013 issue. Weighs 600g, dimensions. 85.4 x 79mm. Supplied with T2-mount to attach to all EOS models.

Camo raincoverGO UNOBSERVED AND STAY PROTECTED

This rain cover is designed specifically for DSLR cameras and will suit EOS cameras with or without an attached battery grip. The cover features two arm sleeves with elastic cuffs (unlike our heavy-duty rain cover, which only has one arm sleeve). A water-resistant zip which runs the full width at the base makes inserting a camera into the cover an easy process. Dual zip pulls allow the camera tripod mounted. The rear panel has a large clear polythene panel to allow viewing of the camera’s LCD monitor. This panel is deep enough to suit pro-specification cameras with a status screen beneath the main LCD. At the top of the clear panel is a cut-out for the camera viewfinder. The camera’s protective eyepiece can be used to fix the viewfinder in position through the cut-out. A drop-down protective flap covers the viewfinder when you are not using it. It can be used with short and long lenses via the thin integral extension sleeve. It features a mesh lining to reduce condensation and comes with a storage pouch. Weighs 190g including pouch. Overall size: 56cm (W) x 40cm (L). Also available in black.

Reliable and durable, these batteries are environmentally-friendly, feature a very high energy density and have no memory effect. A built-in microprocessor safeguards the cells by limiting maximum voltage and by protecting against deep discharge, short circuit and overload. Recently added to the range are two Extreme batteries – so called for their higher capacity, durability and maximum reliability. Each battery is injected with silicone for a tough, shock-absorbing construction and extra electrical insulation. In a test environment the new HLX-E6 battery outperformed the original Canon LP-E6 battery pack by 24%, meaning you need to change your battery less often when out shooting. The new Extreme batteries are available as E6 and E8 models. Delivery only possible to certain destinations within UK – please see the box on ‘Restricted delivery’.

Lightning and motion sensorFLASH! BANG! CAPTURED!

Save yourself the shredded nerves and wasted hours of trying to capture rapid movement with your EOS camera by using the Micnova Lightning and Motion sensor. Mount the device to your camera hot-shoe or a 1/4” tripod thread, set the mode to either Motion or Lightning and let the motion sensor trigger the camera shutter at the moment of motion. In Motion Mode, the device will trigger your camera’s shutter when the motion sensor detects movement from up to 5 metres away, making it well-suited to wildlife photography as well as security/surveillance. The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted to suit the subject you wish to capture. With a 0.1 millisecond response time, Lightning Mode is ideal for capturing rapid movements such as lightning, fireworks and even gunshots. Size 110 x 62 x 24mm (LxWxH). Powered by 2 x AAA batteries (not included). Compatible with Canon EOS 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 5D, 5D Mk II, 6D, 70D, 1D, 1Ds Mk II, 1Ds Mk III, 1Ds Mk IV, 1D X, 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D, 550D, 1100D, 600D, 650D, 700D, 1000D, 60D.

Wireless TimerFULLY PROGRAMMABLE

The Viltrox JY-710 is a versatile four channel 2.4GHz wireless remote control and intervalometer that is easy to use on any Canon camera. Like many remote control devices, it comprises a hand-held transmitter (approximately 153 x 38 x 18mm) powered by two AAA batteries (included), and a receiver (also powered by two AAAs) that can be optionally fitted to the camera’s hot shoe. If you’re using a Speedlite, the receiver can be left to hang freely as it weighs very little and does not require any electrical connection with the hot shoe. The receiver connects to the camera’s remote socket using a short coiled adapter cable. The transmitter has a two stage shutter release button that functions like the camera’s except that it also has a slide lock for ‘bulb’ exposures. Navigating the

screen options and setting the timers is simple thanks to the multi-controller SET button (same as on EOS cameras). The timer has three basic modes: Delay – This allows you to set up a timed delay of up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds to a resolution of one second. Press the timer start/stop button and the unit will begin to count down until it reaches zero, at which point the camera will be triggered. Long – Use this for timing long exposures. When you press the timer start/stop button, the unit will wait for the programmed delay time and then release the shutter for the long exposure duration you set (which can be up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds). Intvl – Select the interval mode to automatically fire the shutter at regular intervals set by the timer. The exposure can either be set by the camera or by the ‘Long’ timer in the JY-710. The number of repeat exposures can be set from 1 to 399 or can be set to repeat indefinitely.

Up to 80m range. Weight of both units together is 200g.

CamRanger PT Hub and MP360 pannerTILT AND PAN YOUR CAMERA wIRELESSLY

Extend the capabilities of your CamRanger with the PT Hub and panner kit. This clever kit allows you to control the movement of the power panner from within the CamRanger app. This means that you can move your camera via pan and tilt motions remotely and so

keep your subject in the frame at all times. And then, if you need to refocus the camera to compensate, you have all the controls at your fingertips within the same app. You can rotate the MP360 motorised tripod head through the full 360 degrees, tilt it by 15 degrees up or down and pan it diagonally, all via the CamRanger app on your device. The maximum recommended camera weight for the panner is 2700g, so all EOS digital and film cameras can be used (but check the weight if a heavy lens is fitted to the camera). A CamRanger, sold separately, is required to operate the hub and panner. The PT hub draws its power from the CamRanger; the panner requires four AA batteries (not included). As well as the obvious application for advanced capture of wildlife, the Hub is also useful for panoramas and video capture. You can control the speed, angle and movement of the panner head, all wirelessly. It will also allow you to create moving time-lapse photography. Because the power panner head offers smooth movement and there is no need to touch the camera, the results achieved look highly professional.

CamRangerTAkE CONTROL OF YOUR EOS wIRELESSLY

The CamRanger provides wireless control of your EOS camera via a free dedicated app on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch and now also on your Android handheld device or from your Mac (PC version in beta). It enables you to shoot still or video images, view and change camera settings (shutter speed, ISO etc), focus, shoot at intervals and transfer images all at a distance of up to 50m (150ft). You can wirelessly stream Live View to your device – great for when your camera is placed in remote locations such as bird hides. Also suitable for macro photography with its touch focusing, fine focus control and focus stacking features. And there is no need for a nearby WiFi network as the CamRanger creates its own ad-hoc network, giving you freedom to roam. Once you have captured your images you can view, download and delete images from your camera’s memory card – all remotely and wirelessly. You can bring up the images full-screen and zoom into the full resolution of the JPEG and RAW files to check exposure and composition. A live histogram will help you check correct exposure. The CamRanger attaches to your EOS camera via a single cable and comes supplied with a soft black pouch which can be used to hang the device securely on your tripod. Also includes an ethernet cable for firmware updates and USB-rechargeable (and replaceable) Li-Polymer battery. Battery life varies with usage but is typically 3-6 hours. Spare batteries are available separately. Dimensions 10cm x 6cm x 1.5cm; weight 115g.

TriggerSmartMULTI-TRIGGER SYSTEM

TriggerSmart is a unique, affordable motion-capture system. It is designed to capture images using a number of different ways to trigger your camera: sound, light, infrared beam-breaking and movement. TriggerSmart can be used with a variety of stills and video cameras, including Canon digital and film SLR cameras. TriggerSmart’s sensors are controlled and enhanced by the MCT-1 control unit, which can be used to adjust sensitivity and introduce delays in triggering the camera. Choose single exposure or continuous shooting over given time spans. TriggerSmart makes shooting images that would normally be difficult or impossible to capture very simple to achieve. For example, you could photograph fruit falling into water using the sound trigger, a wild animal using the infrared beam breaking mode or fireworks going off by using the light intensity sensor. The TriggerSmart system opens up endless new and exciting opportunities for your photography. The TriggerSmart kit contains everything you need to get going: the MCT-1 controller, IR/LIS receiver, infrared transmitter and sound sensor, two mini tripods, two control cables, camera trigger cable (N3 and E3) and 2° baffle.

You know how comfortable your rucksack or backpack is when out walking, so why not extend the same comfort to your camera support? The Trekking harness takes its cue from rucksacks, adapting the neck strap into a practical solution that distributes the weight of your camera and lens across your neck, shoulders and upper back. In addition you can wear the Trekking harness underneath your usual backpack. As well as a set of straps to attach your main camera body, there is a second set of straps which can take another smaller camera or pair of binoculars on metal D-rings higher up on the harness. On the main padded shoulder straps there are two small pockets, which are perfectly sized to keep your memory cards near at hand. They fasten with hook-and-loop material so the pocket contents will stay safely inside. The camera can be brought up to your eye in an instant as the clasps are not fixed onto the strap; instead they slide freely up and down, making it easy to bring the camera to eye level. Great design and super comfort. You will find that the Trekking harness will reduce neck strain significantly.

Wrist strapsIMPROVE THE GRIP ON YOUR EOS

Make your grip on the camera more comfortable with one of these supportive wrist straps. When you slip your right hand through to grip the camera, the soft leather pad provides extra stability by keeping your hand in position, alleviating hand strain. One end of the strap fastens to the camera strap lug on the right side of your camera. The other end comes attached to a slimline plate which screws into the tripod mount of the camera. The plate also has a socket for fitting to a tripod without the need to remove the strap. Both straps are fully adjustable for a snug fit. The wider Pro strap has a third strap which fastens securely around your wrist with a quick-release buckle. This means that you can relax your grip on the camera without dropping it. If your thumb joint aches when gripping the camera, this strap is ideal. If you still want the option of a neck strap, there is a second lug on the plate and on the left side of the camera.

The real plus of this strap is the camera fixing. A metal plate with stainless steel bearings attaches to the tripod socket of your EOS camera and then slides easily up and down the strap on twin metal ring sliders. This means that your camera hangs with the lens pointing down and out of harm’s way. And when you lift the camera to your eye the strap stays out of the way beneath the camera.

This stretchy neoprene strap has two rows of AirCells along the 5.8cm-wide main section. These small pads feel slightly squishy to the touch – a bit like large air pockets found on bubble wrap – and bear the weight of your EOS camera more comfortably on your shoulder. The elasticity of the neoprene helps too. The AirCells also help keep the strap in position on your shoulder. The strap fixes to the lugs on either side of your camera and can be released quickly from the camera when needed via two sturdy buckles. The two narrower pieces then join together to form a short hand strap. The neoprene material is resistant to the cold and is also oil-resistant. Maximum length of the strap is 116cm – this can be shortened as required via two plastic buckles.

Tripods can be unwieldy and uncomfortable to carry any distance. This tripod strap solves these problems by comfortably distributing the weight across your shoulder, leaving your hands free for moving around and shooting.

Nylon straps on each end of the shoulder pad are adjustable to fit most popular tripods. The tripod can easily be attached and released using the quick release clips, allowing for rapid set-up as soon as the shooting location is reached. For added comfort, the neoprene shoulder pad is reinforced by additional elastic webbing and backed with slip-proof material to prevent the strap from sliding off your shoulder as you move around.

Fat Gecko monopod

SNAP-TOGETHER CARBON FIBRE SUPPORT

There are certain features the EOS magazine team look for in a monopod – lightweight, practical design and a spike foot. So when we found this Fat Gecko monopod we were smitten! Weighing only 340g but capable of supporting EOS cameras and lenses up to 8kg, this monopod collapses down into five sections to a compact 40cm. It has a useful metal spike under a removable rubber stopper on the foot which can be useful for a little extra grip on uneven terrain. It’s made from eight layers of carbon fibre in a Z-weave pattern. When unstrapped it almost assembles itself as the sections are held together by a stretchy cord and slot into one another, meaning that there are no locking nuts to tighten. Because of the nature of the design, it does mean that this monopod has a static height of 144cm when unfolded. But if the benefits of a lightweight, strong and compact monopod at an affordable price overcome this restriction then this is a solid choice for your EOS photography. Maximum load 13.6kg.

Hoodman HoodEYE COMFORT FOR EITHER EYE

HoodEYE is a replacement rubber camera eyecup designed to improve viewfinder clarity. In sunny conditions your view can be hampered by varying levels of stray light entering the viewfinder. HoodEYE allows your eye to fit much closer to the camera for improved viewing. The cup rotates to accommodate both left and right eye shooting. The eyecup itself is made from hypoallergenic silicone rubber. A self-locking mount keeps the HoodEYE in place so you know it’s exactly where you left it. And if you wear glasses, there are also models (G) designed for you.

Correction lensesIf you wear glasses, it can be difficult to see all of the viewfinder image clearly. A correction lens may help. The lens slips over the existing eyepiece lens so that you can view the image without wearing your glasses. Available in ten strengths from +3 to –4. Can only correct eye defects of long and short sight. Call for more information or go online. We offer a return service if you wish to try several strengths.

WaterWeightSTABILITY ON THE MOVE

Every so often an accessory comes along that we think is just so obvious, we can’t believe no-one else thought of it before. The WaterWeight from UK-based Inspired Photo Gear is one of those designs: an ultra lightweight pouch which can be filled with water or sand and used to weigh down your tripod or lightstand. You can wrap the WaterWeight round the legs of your support or hang via the handle. They’re also stackable, so you can add several together when you need more weight. What’s more, it folds down and packs away into its own carry handle. Weighs only 139g when empty and ten times more (1.3kg) when filled with water. Simply inspired.
